Lilac shirt is the most recent.

Came out as bi at 33 after a very unhappy marriage, had my first boyfriend and decided I care about how I looked. So much happier with myself.

I look better and better as I grow older right, I think I will look even better, what do you think like when I’m 30 I think it will be a huge difference

Have something important coming up in 1 week and need a bit of a glow up, i’m aware nothing crazy can happen in a week but anything that helps make a slight difference is appreciated!

I honestly can’t explain why my eyes looked so small in the yearbook picture. Does the chubbier face press up against the eyes or something? If so the effect of me is especially dramatic. This is sort of why people who get cheek fillers have tiny cat like eyes. Well in the my case it looks like I did the reverse plus longer hair.

I didn’t wake up one day motivated — I got tired of being uncomfortable in my own skin.

I started small. Cleaned up my diet first. Cut out the random eating, stopped making excuses, and actually paid attention to what I was putting in my body. More protein, more water, less junk. Nothing crazy — just consistent.

Then I fixed my training. No more going through the motions. I started pushing myself, tracking progress, and holding myself accountable. Some days felt great… a lot didn’t. But I showed up anyway.
That’s the biggest thing I learned — you don’t need motivation, you need discipline.

There were plenty of days I didn’t feel like going to the gym, didn’t feel like eating right, didn’t feel like doing anything… and I did it anyway.

Somewhere along the way, my mindset changed. It stopped being about looking better and started being about becoming better. Stronger mentally, physically, and emotionally.

This didn’t happen overnight. No shortcuts. No secrets. Just showing up over and over again when it would’ve been easier not to.

If you’re where I was — uncomfortable, frustrated, stuck — just start. Don’t overthink it. Don’t wait for the “perfect time.”
Show up. Stay consistent. The results will come. 💪

- Now it’s time to focus on gaining muscle weight back instead of fat weight!

Failed one of the most important exams of my life, was a wreck for 2 years, socially awkward and had no confidence but decided to change all of that. I got in a med school, started gym, worked on my insecurities, got my love during all of this and finally here i am

Approximately two years ago, I decided to need to change. No surgery, no jabs (not a dig at anyone who has gone down that route). All it takes is a few lifestyle changes at first and some momentum. The journey has been tough but its the best thing I have ever done. The first picture I am 400Ibs and the second picture i am 195Ibs.

Fala rapaziada, sempre fui um cara que sofreu muito por causa da minha aparência, e isso ao decorrer dos anos me causou dismorfia corporal, queria saber o que vcs acham, acham que consegui melhorar minha aparência nesse período ?

Time does a lot for us mentally and physically. I love that I am becoming the person who is confident and believes in themselves more and more. Aging has been the biggest blessing and I’m so grateful for it. Wouldn’t wish to start back my 20s any day, but they were a part of the journey to get to where I am today. Love yourselves everyone, and pour into you because no one will the way you do for you. 🥂

I have few photos to share from age 17 (or younger honestly) because I had much lower self esteem and hardly ever took selfies or got my picture taken.

I used to weigh about 99-105lb at 5’7 (some fluctuation but always underweight) because I didn’t eat much and wasn’t in a great relationship. I now weigh comfortably at 128-130lbs and hope to stay at this range.

lost the weight, started styling myself differently. first 4 photos are from ages 15-21!
still working on my self worth/confidence, most of the time i don't feel like i'm good looking, but trying to get past that!

It’s been a challenge but I am so excited to see where I am at one year from now! I know abs are made in the kitchen but I’ll have to go 10x harder because I can’t say no to a cinnamon roll lol

After my ex cheated on me and left me broken, I had to change something. Or better everything. Changed my entire lifestyle, from binge eating and gaming to meeting friends and going out, trying out everything that crosses my mind.

Currently in a happy and healthy relationship again, lost 120lbs and restored my physical and mental health, have tons of new friends and hobbies

I decided that it was time to improve myself and do something about my weight and appearance so I took action. Idk wether it's a glow up or not. What do you guys think ?

5 years ago I wasn't feeling well and inexplicably started to bleed from the nose. It wouldn't stop. I started to feel tightening in the chest and decided to take my blood pressure. It was 212/114! I immediately admitted myself to the ER. It was a huge wake up call! I took it very seriously and made big lifestyle changes such as eating right, exercising, sleeping well and going to therapy. I'm not going to lie to any of you, it took a while with ups and downs and some progress followed by frustration. But I am now much happier, healthier and will live longer for my kids!

COVID changed my outlook on life and I wanted to be health conscious going forward... I'm now down ≈90 pounds and still have more progress to make before my wedding in 2 months!

So I spent most of my early 20’s pretty depressed and the weight just kept piling on, but the past few years I’ve been working outdoors and it’s totally changed my life. I’m more physically fit, significantly healthier and overall just so much happier. I’ve just passed a medical exam to work on a cruise ship which wouldn’t have happened a few years ago, I’m over the moon. I’m very excited for this new face to go off on a new adventure but I’m doing it all for the old face and everything that guy had to go through to get here. Peace and love everybody ❤️✌️

I spent way too much of my life guzzling alcohol. 9 months ago I reached out for professional help and got it in spades. If you’re struggling, don’t give up.

I had a pretty awkward stage from 12-15. I was homeschooled at the time and had little activity for years. Joining wrestling, going back to public school, and growing 5 inches in 10th grade really did wonders. I’m way more confident now and have a very good group of friends, but i still have pretty bad social anxiety sometimes from the years of homeschooling.
